Nassau County: Where Industry Makes History

Nassau County, Florida is ripe with history and it is our history that serves as the impetus for our current success and future growth. Since David Yulee constructed the first cross-state railroad linking Fernandina Beach to Cedar Key, on Florida's Gulf Coast, logistics has played a large part in our county’s economic success. Today that is evident in the Crawford Diamond Industrial Park, a McCallum-Sweeney certified industrial mega-site where CSX and Norfolk Southern rail lines intersect. When Europeans first settled in Nassau County, the St. Marys River to our north and the Nassau River to the south served as early transportation routes for commerce and trade. Today, the deep-water Port of Fernandina serves as an international gateway for businesses throughout Nassau County and the Southeast.
